Locked MTH DIESEL PROGRAMMING

 

I have an MTH Dash 9 with Proto 3 sound.? What kind of hoops will I have to jump through to program some CVs's?? I am using Windows 7, DP 4.16, a Sprog IIv.3, and an isolated programming track.? Thanks in advance for any help.

Bob?
My MTH genset runs great now after I removed the supplied MTH decoder and fitted an ESU unit and I wired the twin motors in series.
The rest of my MTH units are in the works awaiting upgrade.
The hoop is worth jumping thro?

I’m in the same camp as Bob. I have an MTH F7. I like the sound a lot and don’t want to replace ?the decoder. I’ve been able to program the address With JMRI, but nothing else. The volume control on the locomotive doesn’t work. It’s either on or off. The loco is too loud for my small room so I rarely use it, although it runs and sounds great! ?Any programming advice?

F6 control volume on a Proto 3 ,you press and hold it till you get the volume you want and release it?

The biggest hopp in programming MTH is having a Soundbooster card between your command station and the programming track?
Also my experience with MTH is programming direct without the use of JMRI?

Guys:

There are issues where the sound volume resets on power up... read even a spot of dirty track... Check the instructions/drawings to be sure there isn't a pot buried in the locomotive to set the volume... Ask me how I know...

You are correct Alfredo. F6 sets the volume. There is also a pot in the bottom of the locomotive, but it seems to have no effect. Unfortunately, the lowest volume is still too loud for my small room in my opinion. I may have to look at changing out the decoder eventually.?
